Goldmeister is a Python package designed to manage/examine changes to a gold file.
A gold file is a dataset that is being used to confirm that a code set is behaving the same way before changes. Typically they are produced at some point in time by the software and checked into a repo to use for comparison during future code changes.
When you need to change a gold file, developers can use Goldmeister to quickly show the changes that are occurring and how.

Developed at the USDA-ARS-NWRC for maintaining scientific software where repeatability is extremely important and thus Gold file affluent.
This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.
